Top 10 Reasons to Use TPF/GI
1. Windows, Windows, Windows
Multiple windows show programmers all the information they need.
Windows dock to save space and automatically refresh when programmers step.
Eliminates the need to switch views using cryptic commands.
2. Color, Color, Color
Changed data is highlighted in a contrasting color.
Programmers can visually verify their programs by watching fields change as they step.
Employs color to let users intuit what is happening
and catch bugs quickly.
3. Data and Program Isolation
Isolates programmers in virtual environments so that one test session can never
corrupt another. No other tool matches TPF/GI in reliability for early testing.
Isolates programs and data to make early testing reliable.
4. Intelligent Feedback
ECB info pops forward when users step. TPF application errors display without
requiring users to press OK. Core areas gray out when invalid.
Shows programmers what they need to know, when they need to know it.
5. Reduced Training Time
GUI reduces training time for novice programmers. Continued access to CMSTPF commands
keeps experienced programmers happy.
Combines a modern interface with legacy commands to reduce
training time.
6. State-of-the-Art Source View Debugging
Variables, including pointers, arrays, structs, and objects can be edited in C
and C++. Expressions can be edited in Assembler and SABRE programs.
Supports state-of-the-art debugging for both legacy and
future needs.
7. Breaks the Hardware Bottleneck
Programmers get low-cost, virtual TPF environments that allow them to use multiple
systems and connect to remote resources.
Reduces utilization of expensive hardware resources.
8. Doorway to Future Debugging Power
TPF/GI is an easy step up for current CMSTPF programmers, but contains enhancements
and improvements that CMSTPF alone will never have.
Opens the door to ever-more-powerful debugging tools for
CMSTPF users.
9. GUI Usability
Supports GUI features that newer programmers desire. Customizable colors and toolbars
let all programmers hone their productivity to a razor-sharp edge.
Makes programmers more productive with a customizable GUI
environment.
10. Extensibility
An application programming interface (API) allows TPF/GI to be extended.
Customers hook in their own library systems and enhancements.
Allows customer enhancements with an open, extensible environment.
